This paper is about the asymptotic distribution of linear combinations of stratum means in stratified sampling, with and without replacement. Both the number of strata and their size is arbitrary.

The recently-developed statistical method known as the "bootstrap" can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies. It involves resampling points from one's own data, with replacement, to ...

Just as we might consult multiple experts about a problem and then combine their advice to come to a consensus decision, repeated statistical analyses on the same data can be combined to form a single ...

To present a resampling approach to obtain confidence intervals (CIs) and the empirical distributions for the studentized regression residuals percentiles when used as cutoff points for overweight and ...

Nonparametric methods form an important core of statistical techniques and are typically used when data do not meet parametric assumptions. Understanding the foundation of these methods, as well as ...

The International Prize in Statistics has been awarded to Bradley Efron, professor of statistics and biomedical data science at Stanford University, in recognition of the "bootstrap," a method he ...
